28 Days Later A few weeks ago, I saw a poster for the movie 28 Days Later, I had not heard anything about the movie. From seeing this poster, the first thoughts I had about the movie were that it would be a horror film. The ad appeals to a different viewing audience than normal I thought. At the top of the ad, it says “From the makers of Train spotting and The Beach.” These movies, or at least from the parts I had seen, are targeted to a more mature viewing audience, and an older audience, definitely not children. Another reason the ad caught my attention was the fact that it had four stars from movie critics. This always is something I look at when trying to pick out a movie to watch. The picture on the poster has a red background with a pair of red, bloodshot eyes, that gave me an uncomfortable feeling when looking at them. You can gain a lot of understanding about the movie by looking at this advertisement for it, you can probably guess that it is somewhat scary, set in England with a desolate feel to it. When I saw the trailer for the movie, it gave me a better idea of what the movie was about, an epidemic. In the trailer, it makes the movie seem as though it is very intense and scary, a lot of parts that make you jump out of your seat. The music is very fast paced, so I would assume the movie would be. A few people I know had seen the movie before and said it was great, and you just had to see it. My friend whom I watched the movie with, wanted to see it because the Director was Danny Boyle, and he enjoyed all of his other movies. At that point I was weary about the movie, I had seen parts of Train spotting and it was not my favorite movie. I don’t like movies you have to put a lot of thought into, but my friend does. After I saw 28 Days Later, I was very impressed and surprised by the film. It was not at all what I expected it to be. I was expecting a horror film, one that would make me jump out of my seat (although a few times I actually did).
